Hello, this is my first time tiling. I was really hoping to do it myself and save some money. Havent even started yet and I'm already stumped.
Contractor hung cement board directly to the studs. Previously there was plywood AND cement board. Consequently the "gap" is set in behind the lip of my old tub (which I'd like to keep). I'm not sure how to handle tiling over that. Will the thin set and tile be thick enough to lay over this 1/2" gap into the other side? Should I hang another layer of cement board on top of current one?
Would love any advise and please forgive my novice lingo...still wet behind the ears over here.
